Code Security

Most static analysis tools are excellent at generating findings and terrible at telling you which ones matter. Alastor InfoSec's Code Security module is built around the opposite priority: fewer, higher-confidence findings that your engineers will actually fix, instead of a backlog nobody triages.

Static Analysis That Respects Engineering Time

Security Assessment Testing (SAST) and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) are table stakes for any modern engineering org — but tools that flood pull requests with low-severity noise train developers to ignore security feedback entirely. That's the opposite of what testing is supposed to achieve.

What We Test

• Static Application Security Testing (SAST) — source code analyzed for injection flaws, insecure deserialization, hardcoded secrets, unsafe cryptography, and logic errors with real exploitability, not just pattern matches.
• Software Composition Analysis (SCA) — every third-party dependency checked against known CVE databases, with severity re-scored against how your code actually calls the vulnerable function, not just whether the package is present.
• Secure code review — manual review of security-critical code paths (authentication, authorization, cryptography, payment handling) that automated tools consistently miss.
• Language and framework-specific checks — tuned rulesets for the stacks you actually run, rather than generic rules that don't understand your framework's built-in protections.

Human-Verified, Not Just Automated

Every SAST/SCA finding that reaches your dashboard has been triaged against real exploitability before it's reported — the same discipline our red team applies to manual engagements. This is also how Alastor InfoSec researchers have contributed to responsibly disclosed CVEs in widely used software: by treating "the scanner flagged it" as the start of the investigation, not the end of it.

Code Security runs continuously alongside GitHub Security, so commit-level hygiene (secrets, IaC, dependency confusion) and code-level vulnerability analysis are part of the same pipeline instead of two separate tools your team has to reconcile.

Who Needs This

Any team shipping production code benefits from continuous SAST/SCA — but it matters most for teams under compliance pressure, where SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS audits increasingly expect evidence of secure development practices, not just a penetration test report once a year.
